My Skin |
Take a look at my body |
Look at my hands |
There's so much here that I don't understand |
Your face-saving promises |
Whispered like prayers |
I don't need them |
'Cause I've been treated so wrong, |
I've been treated so long |
As if I'm becoming untouchable |
Well, contempt loves the silence, it thrives in the dark |
With fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart |
They say that promises sweeten the blow |
But I don't need them, no I don't need them |
I've been treated so wrong, |
I've been treated so long |
As if I'm becoming untouchable |
I'm a slow-dying flower |
In the frost-killing hour |
Sweet turning sour and untouchable |
I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness |
Oh I need this |
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight, |
Angel, sweet love of my life |
Oh I need this |
I'm a slow-dying flower |
Frost-killing hour |
The sweet turning sour and untouchable |
Do you remember the way that you touched me before |
All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored |
Your face-saving promises |
Whispered liked prayers |
I don't need them |
I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness |
Oh, I need this |
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight, angel, sweet love of my life |
Oh, I need this |
Well is it dark enough |
Can you see me |
Do you want me |
Can you reach me |
Oh, I'm leaving |
Better shut your mouth, and hold your breath |
You kiss me now, you catch your death |
Oh, I mean this |
Oh, I mean this |
